word after word
they're all the same
it
they fall from the same hand
someone's hand
someone's nicotine-stained fingers
another day, another plan, another effort, another intensity
another sip, another toke, another line, another taste
another hand
another ring on the left ring finger
someone's lust, someone's erection, someone's tongue, someone's child
listening carefully, we hear it all the same
we hear it from one another, we hear it without a care
we have a disease, we have a desire, we have a plan, we have a care
they're all the same
it we they
the day we fall, the day we slip, the day we decay, the day we collapse
someone sees, someone succumbs, someone loves, some one dies
